Darksiders
I have gone demo mad over the last few days but it has been fun trying out some games that I would not necessarily play.
Darksiders is a great RPG game with no fuss. God of War is a game with extra features to activate certain fight scenes for different characters as you fight them but Darksiders is a no nonsense game that delivers a nice story and visual effects. I played this demo and enjoyed it so much I went out and bought it, the same day.
What I liked about this game as that you could simply pick up the pad and get on with the game. I liked the fact you had a helper at times and the demon who cold trade or let you buy things from him.
I also liked the little features in the game where you have to drag a block or shoot a fireball bomb at something to find extra things, a bit Tombraider thrown in for good measure.
I can see why the play us magazine gave the game a 10/10 as it is just so easy to pick up and play. It is good fun trying to find different items and doorways plus the creatures are fun to figure out how to defeat them. The story bring the whole thing together so you know why you are playing the game and to what you need to do.
The controls and movement are much better than God of War, where as in GOD of War the camera was sometimes set in Darksiders you have full control to look around and search the area.
Right from the beginning after the cut scene explaining the story you are thrown into a city to fight some creatures. Climbing and jumping around some building you eventually come up against a giant creature. I just liked the fact it put you right into the game, no messing around.
Throwing cars is also fun
